    I am obsessed with this place. BEST Acai bowls on the island in my opinion, and I have tried many. Their ingredients are just great, fresh and not too sweet (I always ask them to leave out the honey drizzle). Everything they do is great from smoothies to sandwiches, but my go-to and their best attraction in my opinion is the grilled ahi sandwich. SO delicious 🤤

    The sandwiches are very good, I've had the pastrami and the portobello mushroom sandwiches they're both really good. Everything is fresh here that we tried. The only problem with this place is the parking, only street parking and not much of it! going on the weekends is probably not the best idea because of the parking situation. The sandwich is pressed so when you do bite into it if your upper gums are a little tender they will get tore up a little bit because of the Crispness of the bread.

    The smoothies here are quite good, to focus on the positive. The ingredients are appreciably fresh and the sauces are good. Sandwiches are... not spending enough time on the grill. I ordered a grilled sandwich. What I got was the kind of product I'd expect if someone didn't do their homework and slapped something together for a deadline. Imagine a panini in your mind's eye, a glorious gooey mess of cheese and sundry fillings that is contained only by bread that has been touched by fire. This wasn't that.

    So refreshing and delicious. The decor was really nice. The ambiance is also really nice. Really enjoyed everything that we ordered. The papaya was so sweet and the Greek yogurt tartness really complimented it. The staff was really nice. We would definitely be coming back. Easily became one of our favorite places!

    Jazzy little joint in downtown Kailua. Great decor and friendly staff. Their açaí bowl was bomb. Be sure to add the cacao nibs on the top! Sit inside and enjoy the local art or out on the patio and watch the wild chickens duke it out on the streets.

    I really loved this place, I visited 3 times while I was in Hawaii! First time, I ordered the breakfast wrap. To this day, I can not thinking about this wrap. The flavours were insanely good and it's definitely one of the best breakfast wraps I have ever had. Next visit, I got an açai bowl, and it was delicious! I ordered the smaller size and it was quite small but I guess it's good for a mid-day snack. The last visit, I ordered a veryyyyy good avocado toast, which I highly recommend, and a rainbow passion smoothie. It was quite good, just your typical smoothie; nothing exceptional. Overall, I really love this place and recommend you take the time to visit. The staff was so incredibly friendly and I enjoyed everything. Thank you, nalu, and I will come back one day!!

    Nalu Health Bar & Cafe is a great spot to stop in for a fresh and tasty meal. The smoothies are made from scratch with real fruits and vegetables. The açaí bowls are pretty and made well with good ingredients. The staff is friendly and the prices are a good value for your money. A few outdoor seats are available.

    Tried this place after doing a hike and let me tell you this place was absolutely delicious. We ordered the steak sandwich and the Nalu açaí bowl and a vanilla latte. The sandwich was probably the best steak sandwich I’ve ever had and the açaí bowl was perfect and so refreshing after a long hike. Absolutely a must try!

    One of the few healthy place I could find around here 😊 happy to be able to find restaurants like these not meat intensive. Also, bonus point for not giving utensils by default, so I was able to use mine. No plastic in this order! 🙌🏻

    We had a breakfast sandwich and açaí bowls. The sandwich was stellar quality- one of the best I’ve ever had. There was an arugula balsamic salad on it. The açaí bowl was good, just not as good as other small places we tried on the north shore which is the only reason for 4/5 stars

  • 5/5 Emily C. 3 years ago on Google
    Had the nalu açaí bowl and turkey kale pesto sandwich. Delicious and friendly service!

  • 5/5 Justina R. 4 years ago on Google
    Super delicious. Fast. Friendly. Affordable. Clean. Healthy. Checked all the boxes :) Nalu Bowl, Kale Smoothie, Kale Salad, Veggie Wrap.

  • 5/5 Amanda S. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious fresh food option!

  • 5/5 Briana 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for açaí and smoothies! Both things I had were delicious. It’s in a great location, and is a quick stop before heading to the beach. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 OracleLife 4 years ago on Google
    Good healthy tasty food. My kids couldn’t stop asking to return here for lunch.

  • 5/5 駒田大輔 4 years ago on Google
    I think this is a vacant cafe in the Kailua. And what's even better is very delicious and quick to serve. I recommend here!

  • 1/5 Ronya H. 4 years ago on Google
    Placed a phone order at 12:15 and they said 10-15 minutes. So my boyfriend went to pick up the food. It’s been over 50 minutes and the food hasn’t come out yet. The food had better be worth the wait. It’s absurd to tell someone 10-15 minutes and have to wait this long. Don’t think I’ll be visiting again. Update - I ended up called the restaurant and they said the ticket didn’t print. But yet other orders were coming out while he was waiting. He asked for a refund and he ended up going elsewhere. What a waste of time.

  • 5/5 toriba y. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Acai bowl, maybe the best I've ever eaten. The sandwich was also delicious! Kailua is useful because many shops close early after lunch. I want to eat again! (Original) アサイーボウル、今まで食べた中で一番かも。サンドイッチも美味しかった!カイルアはお昼後早く閉まってしまうお店が多いので、ここは重宝します。また食べたい!

  • 5/5 Pravin P. 4 years ago on Google
    Definitely one of the best acai bowls I've had. Seems like the owners are based in South America and source their own acai berries, directly from Brazil. The consistency and color of the acai is different from the bowls I've seen. It's much darker. The lady at the counter said they add a berry based sweetener to it too. Overall the flavor is great. I got the Nalu bowl, with acai, banana, strawberry, blueberry, bee pollen, granola, and honey. Highly recommend this one.

  • 5/5 P 1 year ago on Google
    The best acai bowl I've ever had! I got the large Nalu acai bowl with coconut flakes and it was so delicious with tons of toppings and the acai so refreshing and tasty. The staff were also so nice! Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Izzy A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the first place on island that I’ve been to where the servers said “please, thank you, sorry, excuse me” and they actually smiled at me 🥲. Cute and simple decor, comfortable place to chill with friends. Todays country hits are playing and the food is delicious.

  • 5/5 Adam T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nalu health bar is a great place to get a good acai bowl and definitely a lot of their wraps are good. We've had the steak wraps and the bowls are delicious.

  • 5/5 Danielle D. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my gosh! We live in Kaneohe and for the life of me I'm not sure why we haven't been here yet. Love at first sip. Highly recommend for all my fellow coffee snobs. I enjoyed an iced oat milk latte. The lattes 12 or 16 oz come with two shots. There's ample seating indoor and a few spots outdoors. Oddly, it was a bit quiet today, but usually when I'm driving past it's quite busy. All to say, can't guarantee you'll always find a seat. Of course it's next to other cute boutiques so you can make a day of it. Aloha!

  • 4/5 Teirra A. 1 year ago on Google
    Super awesome turkey pesto panini, it normally comes on a croissant but I got it on chibatta, was soooo yummy! I also added avocado to it, I gave 4 stars because it is pricey and my juice costed 10 bucks for a small and it was mainly cucumbers…definitely won’t be getting a juice from here buuuut the panini was awesome, I will be back for this panini again and again because it’s that yummy ( they also forgot the dressing to my salad but it was okay)

  • 5/5 Venkat C. 9 months ago on Google
    The Acai bowls here and the wraps / sandwiches were all really really nice. We went here upon recommendation from a local resident and will recommend this restaurant forward.

  • 5/5 JUDY L. 10 months ago on Google
    Their nalu bowl is the best açaí bowl I’ve ever had. The ingredients are fresh and absolutely delicious.

  • 3/5 James M. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice staff and space but the expensive food did not meet the mark. My turkey pesto sandwich had good flavor but was a small portion. My wife’s portobello sandwich was largely inedible as the mushroom was very fibrous and the tomato was mealy and green. 16 oz juices are over half ice, I’d recommend ordering without ice.

  • 5/5 Grace B. 1 year ago on Google
    We love Nalu! Best acai bowls around. Kids have the Rainbow Passion + Mango Colada smoothies. Sandwiches are also a great choice, the Turkey Pesto being our favourite.

  • 5/5 Darren D. 4 months ago on Google
    Great stop for lunch. Breakfast menu also looks amazing. I had the steak sandwich and it was delicious. Love trying recommended places (lanaki brewing - great recommendation). Was fun to sit outside and watch folks walking dog and just soak up the chill atmosphere. 😎 give this place a try... will not disappoint.

  • 5/5 Kelly J. 5 months ago on Google
    If you’re craving for something healthy and light, this is your place in Kailua. After your Pill box hike this is the perfect place to stop by. Delicious wraps (my fave ahi wrap) sandwiches, juices (energizer or greenery) and açaí bowls (small size is perfect if you want juice and a bowl). I came here twice in a row! There are cute clothing stores around next to you. I would defiantly come back again!

  • 5/5 Kiersten M. 5 months ago on Google
    Loved the healthy options this place has to offer. Thought I was going to be limited but with gluten free bread options I was super excited! And it was actually one of the better gluten free breads I’ve had (if you are getting it to go get the sauce on the side bc it well get soggy). Also their nalu sauce is the bomb. Please consider selling bottles!

  • 5/5 Samantha W. 5 months ago on Google
    The açaí bowl was super fresh and yummy! Not overly sweet, just perfect!

  • 5/5 Colette M. 3 years ago on Google
    The ABSOLUTE BEST ACAI BOWLS EVER. My personal favorite is their “Nalu Bowl”. We always order it along with their delicious Veggie Wrap!

  • 5/5 Theodore K. 3 years ago on Google
    The best healthy restaurant I have come across so far in Hawaii! Friendly staff, great menu, and affordable prices! I will definitely be back

  • 5/5 Rhett H. 3 years ago on Google
    A favorite lunch spot in Kailua. Ahi wrap (1) and Capresse panini (2) are my goto's. Ask for extra Nalu sauce on the Ahi wrap.

  • 5/5 Noriko T. 3 years ago on Google
    パッと入ったのに美味しくて大感激❣️ I just dropped in, and was happily surprised with this place. The açaí bowl was really enjoyable, and a friend of mine loved the salad with ahi. It was a perfect combination of a good protein and veggies, and the dressing was heavenly. We will be there again, next time, with a definite chance Jan to come dine here :)

  • 5/5 Kayla S. 3 years ago on Google
    Yummy acai bowls and coffee! Easy ordering process and great people.

    I started coming to Nalu Health Bar when my cholesterol spiked to 306. I ate their salads almost every day at Nalu for 6-7 weeks and brought my cholesterol level down to a healthy 126! ( with exercise also). I am so grateful for their salads and their friendly staff!

  • 5/5 Tay T. 3 years ago on Google
    Food Nalu salad with Ahi.

  • 5/5 Lisa C. 3 years ago on Google
    If you want a real açai bowl, this is the place to go get one. Do not bother with Jumba Juice or that other place.

  • 5/5 Kapena K. 3 years ago on Google
    The Nalu bowl, and turkey sandwich. Was great

  • 4/5 Ines B. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place! Had a good açai bowl. (Not a lot of options but good!)

    I wasn’t happy with my experience and reached out to the manager who got back to me quickly to go above and beyond to resolve the issue. I will give this business another chance because I try very hard to support local businesses especially during this time.

  • 5/5 Evan W. 3 years ago on Google

    Still craving the Ahi Tuna Wrap Lots of delicious options here. The Ahi Tuna Wrap was very delicious. And loved that they had 3 different size options for the acai bowls. Decent amount of indoor seating. Very friendly staff.

    (Translated by Google) A famous restaurant you will definitely visit when you come to Hawaii! !! The acai bowl is definitely recommended! !! It has a very rich taste (๑>◡<๑) compared to other stores' acai bowls, and it is very healthy with honey on it! !! !! All the kids love it and eat a lot. If there is one person, there may be a little more L. ? There is a parking space in front of us, but it is often full! The salad is delicious and I always order it! It's a bit far from Waikiki, but we recommend that you stop by when visiting Kailua and Lanikai (//∇//) (Original) ハワイに来たら必ず訪れる名店!!なんといってもオススメはアサイーボウル!!他のお店のアサイーボウルに比べるとすごく濃厚な味わい(๑>◡<๑)ハチミツもかかっていてとてもヘルシーです!!!子供達も皆大好物でたくさん食べてます。一人だとLは少し多いかも??目の前に駐車スペースがありますが満車の事が多いです! サラダも美味しくていつも頼んでしまいます!ワイキキからは少し遠いですがカイルア、ラニカイ観光の際は是非、立ち寄ることをオススメいたします(//∇//)

    This place has some of the best quality smoothies on the island. When other restaurants have grilled cheese they charge you for just some bread and cheese, but here there is actually quality and flavor. Going to try the pesto sandwich soon

  • 5/5 Grace B. 3 years ago on Google
    Nalu is our favourite neighbourhood acai bowl place 😁

  • 4/5 Jin C. 3 years ago on Google
    Yummy but pricy.

  • 3/5 lambert l. 3 years ago on Google
    ordered a portobello sandwich which had the smallest mushroom ever. we told the staff and they gladly made a new one.

  • 5/5 Lauren H. 3 years ago on Google
    Best açaí bowl on island so far - and I’ve been on the hunt for awhile.

  • 5/5 Kazuki O. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) On a trip to Hawaii, the food balance is inevitably biased, so eat an acai ball and reset! (^ ○ ^) So, this time, I went a little further from Honolulu and received an acai ball like a photo at naul located near Kailua Beach. The shop was also fashionable, and there were sand and smoothies other than acai balls. If you are going to Kailua, please stop by. (Original) ハワイ旅行ではどうしても食べ物のバランスが偏ってしまいガチなので、アサイボール食べてリセット!(^○^) そこで、今回はホノルルから少し足を延ばしてカイルアビーチの近くに位置するnaulさんで写真のようなアサイボールを頂きました😊 店内もオシャレで、アサイボール以外にもサンドやスムージーなどもありました。カイルア方面に行く方は是非立ち寄ってみて下さい☺️

    (Translated by Google) A fashionable cafe on my first Hawaii trip. This is the first store where Acai looks great. It was good that many customers who came to the store were local. (Original) 初めてのハワイ旅行で行ったおしゃれカフェ。 アサイーがこんなに似合うお店は初めて。お店にきているお客さんもローカルな方が多くよかったです。

  • 5/5 Margot T. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly. Clean. Good food. I had the veggie wrap. I loved it! A little more avocado would be even better but it was still enough as is. Thank you! Also, Reasonable price for what I got.
